Rajiv Kumar has stepped down as Niti Aayog Vice Chairman and will be replaced by Suman K Bery, a former director general of National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER).

Bery is now non-resident fellow at Bruegel, a European think tank specializing in economics. Kumar took over as vice chairman in August 2017 after his predecessor Arvind Panagariya left NITI Aayog, which replaced the Planning Commission.

Bery will join from May 1, 2022, according to a government order. 

Some reports said the government is reviewing the Aayog’s work after it was formed by disbanding the Planning Commission in 2015.
